It's exhilarating to me to walk through the woods after it rains or when the morning dew is still wet upon the leaves.

It's no secret that I love to paint sunrises and sunsets, because that's the time of day with the most beautifully dramatic colors.

"The wicked plotteth against the just; and gnasheth upon him with his teeth. The LORD shall laugh at him: for He seeth that his day is coming.

Their sword shall enter into their own heart, and their bows shall be broken." ~ Psalm 37:12-15.

"Fishing in the Moment" 24" x 36" Hudson River School Daily Painters by Connie Tom

These two lucky fishermen have escaped the busy-ness of life, not only to fish if they please, but to experience the elements of life and nature. They are out on the lake during a beautiful sunset. I wanted to catch this moment in time when the clouds start rolling in and the light from the sunset filters through the atmosphere in the heavens above creating a myriad of cloud colors and quite a light show. When the clouds start moving in fast, you don't know what's going to happen. There's a feeling of vulnerability and also an element of anticipation. In awe of this breathtaking beauty, these fishermen are happily... "enjoying the moment." ~ Connie
